11 hours ago11 hr I think the delusional over the top Hurts supporters will be the most mad seeing Josh Allen ahead of Hurts. They've spent years trying to say Hurts is better.
11 hours ago11 hr 4 minutes ago, HazletonEagle said:Its pretty obvious that the D has carried a poor offense the past 2 years. Whereas prior to that the D stunk and the offense was putting up more points back when Hurts made up for his deficiencies by using his legs.This is not a surprising stat. Nor does it disprove any assertion that Hurts was carried to a super bowl by the D and an elite run game.I hope one day we can actually play well on both sides of the ball in the same season. Maybe this is the year.Ron White was right. You can't fix stupid

I know you can make an argument for an asterisk on both of those but I never felt like we 100% deserved to win either of those games.2004 - McNabb made too mistakes and if I remember correctly our OL struggled a bit.2022 - Hurts big time error on the fumble and the defense literally couldn’t make one stop in the second half.I probably agree with you on 2004 but they seemed to know our defensive calls. The 2022 Super Bowl wasn't decided by Hurts' fumble. The problem was that Gannon did not scout his own tendencies. They had overreacted to orbit motion in past games. The Chiefs used a fake orbit motion play about 8 times and the defense looked confused on all of them. Even with all of the problems the d-line had getting traction. If they had just been prepared they would have been able to keep the Chiefs from scoring more often than they did.

The young lady in question was leaving within 72 hours for a year of academics at Oxford or Cambridge (my memory is fuzzy on which one) and despite our mutual assurances to each other that a "complication” given that was unwise, our hormones got the better of us. Many years later we met again, but without any hormonal interference. It was mutually shocking.It probably says a lot about me that I read this and the Married With Children episode where Al met his ex Sandy to get his football back came to mind.

11 hours ago11 hr 49 minutes ago, jojodancer said:The case can be made that this defense is entering its prime with the core pieces, while it was still more raw in 2024. I will call the defensive line a wash if Greenard is healthy.I will take Woolen over an older Slay, as far as having a higher ceiling and creating more turnovers. At linebacker, If you are going by who actually played the latter part of 2024 and the actual Superbowl starter I'd take Campbell over Burks. And I like Trotter as well. But with Dean playing pretty well when healthy, Id just call it even there.Overall, the 2 defenses are pretty even, but I think the main difference could be at safety. I was never a huge Blankenship fan, but he and CJ were a good combination that year. Makuba hopefully continues his development and has looked good early on here, but remains a question still. I think Howie still needs to find a starter there. Epps and Carter are stop-gaps at best and just depth guys.This defense should eat, if the offense just has a running game and burns some clock, so they don't have to be laid out on the field with an excessive snap count. But this defense, on paper, should be a top 5 defense and have a bunch of guys that can all take the next step with untapped potential.1 hour ago, Saltpeter said:McKee reminds me of Foles, the good and the bad. But if something happened to Hurts and we needed someone for a run, I don’t know how anyone could believe in Dalton. We’d likely be screwed either way, but at least McKee has a shot.Foles was a starting QB in the early days and won some games prior to falling to the back-up to Wentz. When he was called on to play, the coaches adopted the game plans to max out his ability, and he delivered. McKee on the other hand, has not played much to this point. If he is called to subs for Hurts, it is unknown if he could deliver. The coaches would have seen more of him in practices to have a better handle on if he is ready for game duties.

7 hours ago7 hr After the nonsense from T.O. and then years later AJ, I’m really hoping that Smitty goes on to become the Eagles undisputed greatest WR ever.

I think the criticism of Hurts is largely ridiculous, but if course (ignoring cap implications) I would trade him for Josh Allen.
